Slip queen for sure! But seriously, that style of boat cracks me up. Such vanity. The foredeck is totally unsafe, but they tolerate it for the sake of appearance.
WAAAAY over priced for sure. What do y'all suppose its length is? Maybe around 40' or so? I've seen listings for a 2010 Donzi 80, an 80' sport fisher for $4,750,000 and a 2010 Viking Sport, 82', for just under 5 million!
The distance between pilings is probably 8-10 feet, so that would make the boat 48 to 60 feet.
If you ask the owner why he didn't buy the optional safety rails, he'd probably reply: "I'm a serious offshore fisher-person, and as such, I don't engage in frivolous trifles such as rafting up or anchoring out. Canyon-masters like me rarely set foot on the foredeck, and we don't need railings. Also, you are a total panty-waist for asking."
(Well, even if he didn't say that last part out loud, he'd probably think it.)
Of course, that reasoning ignores necessities such as handling bow lines, cleaning the deck, or any number of emergency situations. But people do it anyway.
That is a 66' boat. This is how I figured it out. Radar dome is about 2 ft in diameter, that's my main assumption (maybe I'm wrong there). On my screen it measures 6 mm wide. Boat measures 200 mm wide. So the boat is 33 times longer than the dome is wide. If the dome is 2 ft diameter, the boat is 66' long.
I would say $7 million is way too much for that boat. Maybe $4 to $5 million. Still way more money than I have.
Prices of cruisers in the 30 to 50 foot LOA in my area are crazy low. I don't know what's causing it - low stock market, older guys getting out of boating or simply the costs of the boating game. Many big Sea Rays, Cruisers, Carvers, Chaparrals, Four Winns and Rinkers for sale.
45' SR Express Cruiser I looked at last weekend was $150k with storage and a slip for a year. Great buy for the money I think. Anyone have extra loose change?
@TonyWalker. 100% agreement - Rinker 342, arguably the cruiser ever made in that LOA. That's why we love our 2014 EC 360 - it came from the 342! It is faster, way taller inside and far prettier than any of the competitors. As well, I don't have three of four big powder coated 1.5" pipes attached to my windshield to hold up a fiberglass hardtop. Friggin ugly IMO...... then there 's the Rinker cockpit. How do you spell cockpit envy .....RINKER! ;-) Let's see: lots of room, cockpit fridge, freezer and blender. 110 and 12v receptacles, great lines of sight, plenty of accessories. Oh year - Rinkers Rule! :-)
